i had the pleasure of again judging the MAX show this year,
and strangely enough, the best-in-show went to a display
including many of Herr Rall's TR awards, including his
RK/Oaks/Swords and cassette.
amongst the display was a picture of herr rall and bob
thompson, the displayer, taken some 25 years ago....
What a warm, genuine, infectious smile he wore! It
appears to be a theme throughout his photographs. a man
with a sense of humor and a smile isn't a guarantee of goodness,
but is an important first step...
my condolences to the family. i regret not having been able to meet him.
